Behind the Scenes
The use of "Mrs. Moore" as an alias alludes to the fact that a pseudonym, Paula Moore, was used for a previous Cyberman Doctor Who television story, Attack of the Cybermen.
"Mrs. Moore" says she got the name from a book, this is most likely an allusion to E.M. Forester's A Passage to India.
The Character who is Alice's namesake in A Passage to India is a good-hearted, religious, elderly woman with mystical leanings. The initial days of her visit to India are successful, as she connects with India and Indians on an intuitive level. Whereas Adela is overly cerebral, Mrs. Moore relies successfully on her heart to make connections during her visit. She is important to the novel largely on a symbolic level. Though she herself has human flaws, she comes to symbolize an ideally spiritual and race-blind openness that Forster sees as a solution to the problems in India. Mrs. Moore's name becomes closely associated with Hinduism, especially the Hindu tenet of the oneness and unity of all living things. This symbolic side to Mrs. Moore might even make her the heroine of the novel, the only English person able to closely connect with the Hindu vision of unity.
